rolmops - Simple as A-B-C's, right? Tom B. (LongLine)

Many thanx to the fine people that operate the hatcheries and support the fishery. For the fishery all across the state, do you know who raises/does what? Tom B. (LongLine) p.s. hint: begins with a "C" and has an "a" in it.

Very nice Pete. The kids will remember that trip. Tom B. (LongLine)

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Tis a time to reflect on everything we are thankful for in our lives...Family, friends, health & a silver lining to every dark cloud....and a lake full of fish to catch. Tom B. (LongLine)

How can anyone say 33 year OLD? Happy Birthday BH Tom B. (LongLine)

Yo ho Happy Birthday Musky. (or however they say it in pirate-ese) Tom B. (LongLine)

There's no argument, Tim just made a fact a little more well known. Hopefully this will help someone avoid a ticket. Tom B. (LongLine)

Definitely honey bees. Thinking the Co. name is Tamiron or something like that. Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome to the addiciton. My advice: 1. Don't leave home without the rigg'rs! 2. Spend more on reels than rods. Smooth drag is very important. 3. Landing a salmon on a 10ft rod is much different than using the same setup on a 6 1/2 ft'r. 4. Go for the torpedo or fish shaped weights. Stay away from balls and pancakes. Blowback and getting/keeping them adjusted properly (respectively) and be challenging, almost frustrating. When you buy rigg'r 's, make sure you know the capacity of them. Don't put a 20Lb weight on a rigg'r thats only rated for 15. 5. NEVER put the engine in reverse with rigg'rs out. Boat control is very important. 6. Don't take safety for granted!!!!! 7. Secure your gear when you're done fishing. There's too dang much thievery (sp - people stealing stuff) going on nowadays. 8. Get ideas on lures by looking thru the report sections. Look thru the classifieds or on-line to purchase gear. You have to know what you're looking for but sometimes can make a killing. Also look at the tournament results and scroll back thru some of the tweets. They often give good hints as to what was working at that time of year. (LOC, Pro-Am) Good Luck Tom B. (LongLine)

Looks like the netman could use a little bigger net... Tom B. (LongLine) (Nice fish)

Happy BD there BD. Tom B. (LongLine)

Yeah, they moved to the other end of the lake. Tom B. (LongLine) BTW I thought they were "Quebecksters."

Well the biggest wave in the middle of the lake was 19.4Ft at 6:50 pm yesterday. I image it was quite a bit bigger when it got closer to us. Hope everyone is okay. Tom B. (LongLine)

Happy birthday Pete, here's a cake for ya. Tom B. (LongLine)

All righ-teee - more defense spending...that'll help the economy. The actual reason for less water in our area is the population explosion just west of Toronto to Niagara falls. All those extra people add a lot of weight to that end of the lake and the lake is tipping that way. Tom B. (LongLine)

Don't you dare go floating around out there Ray. I agree with Stan. There's laws against water pollution. Tom B. (LongLine)

What's predicted to be bad about this one is that it's going to be directly out of the north. Great majority of our storms come out of the west. As I remember Agness came more out of the south. trees have grown accustomed to strong wind from the west & have root structure etc for that. North is something else. At least the great majority of tree still have the sap in them. Everyone please be safe whereever you are, Tom B. (LongLine)

I've never seen them predict them this big out of the north before. 15-18's yes, 22's no. I hope no one is still in at the River. Tom B. (LongLine)

Moore generally has a sale on parts, cable, probes in Feb. Tom B. (LongLine)

I don't believe they said they "released it." Looked to me like that beast never got landed. Tom B. (LongLine)

And then you post a pic of a $400K rig with triple 300's???? You gott'a be kidding me. The one I want is one that my wife would be willing to out on Lake Ontario on with me; with all care, maintenance, upkeep & storage taken care of by someone else. Something parked on the water where all I'd ever have to do is drive up to it, unhook it and go anytime we feel like it and never have to worry about getting back. Tom B. (LongLine) ...dream on...

Back in march-april they started cutting it back. Problem was we got rain in big bunches. Then had 3-4 weeks with nothing. Tom B. (LongLine)

I'd been struggling with mine for quite a while. (It almost turned into a joke. That's why I posted the DIY in the comic section.) Anyways - took it to Hank and he found a couple things that I never would have found. I can't say enough about the great job he did. Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome back Tom B. (LongLine)

More on Invasives: - Anybody really enjoy their last encounter with spinny water fleas? - How about the bait fish regulations? - Anyone have to clean Zebra muscles off their lower unit? - Anyone snag a bunch of Quaggas while searching for Lakers? - Where-oh-where have all the smallmouth gone? - Cleaning hydralia off the prop is a lot of fun isn't it? - Hopefully we'll never have to wear full body armor when fishing Tom B.
